CAPITALS PLAYERS BUCK LEAGUE PRESSURE, refuse to use LGBT pride tape on their hockey sticks.

With that in mind, I watched both the college National Championship game and NFL football playoff games the last two weeks. I came away mostly disgusted. I had the misfortune of tuning in the the college championship game during the opening ceremonies (flag, color guard, National Anthem, etc.) and saw nothing more than an attitude of "we gotta do this, so let's get it over with as soon as possible" on the part of the participants and crowd. I try not to partake of the opening ceremonies as NFL games (usually missing the first few minutes of the first quarter) and was annoyed in all six games by the woke signage on the fields, behind the goalposts, and on the backs of players' helmets.

It's football dammit, not wokeball. When the next season rolls around, I'm not sure I'll be watching....

In the meantime, hockey is looking good.
